Honey bees swarm as a way of reproducing their colony. Most swarms are not a threat to people. Before the bees leave the hive as a swarm, they will fill up with food (their honey). This tends to make them more docile. They are not as defensive as they would be when they are occupying a hive.
If you see a swarm of honey bees, please do not spray them, call a beekeeper to come and remove them.
Above are some examples of what a swarm of bees looks like. All of these were safely captured and installed into bee hives.
